How Watch Cases are Made. The many great improvements intro- duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss’ Gold Watch Case, have led to similar im- provements in the making of silver cases. Under the old methods, each part of a silver case was made of several pieces of metal soldered together, requiring a great amount of cutting and soldering, which softened the metal and gave it the pliability of lead rather than the elasticity of silver. Under the improved methods, each part of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made of one solid piece of metal hammered into shape. The advantages are readily appar- ent, for every one knows that hammering hardens the metal while soldering softens it. To test the superiority of the Keystone Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 oz. weight, press it squarely in the center when closed, and it will not give, while a case of same weight of any other make will give enough cha ise creel The Keystone Silver is le only with si and gold joints. 4 micheal fend 3 cont stamp to Keystone Wateh Case Factories, Phila SS (To be continued.)
